Chapter 14

As soon as Walt Disney heard of the proposal, he went onto the stage to make a speech.

Alongside him was a guy wheeling a gigantic cake on a table. 

"Attention all actors! Attention! Some of you are aware of this former will they won't they. But now it has been answered with a firm 'they will' at this very shindig. One of Actorville's best live reference models, Miss Jill Gibson, is to be married to the Beatles' bass man Paul McCartney. So now I see no better reason to serve the cake that was meant for this shindig only" said Walt.

But as he lowered the knife to cut it, the cake exploded! 

"Holy explosion!" Dick shouted.

Lady Peasoup showed herself, but no one recognized her because she was wearing a whit outfit and a gas mask.

"You! Freeze!" Sam shouted.

She still had her policewoman's gun with her and tried to shoot Lady Peasoup.

But all of her bullets ricocheted off of her white outfit and scattered all over the restaurant. 

One of the bullets conked Cathy on the head and she passed out with her forehead bleeding.

"Cathy!" Tim yelped. 

Being unstoppable and seemingly bulletproof, Lady Peasoup grabbed Jill and whisked her away. 

Along with that, she had her henchmen rob the Beatles of everything they had in their pockets. Including Ringo's rings, John's harmonica and George's guitar strings.

"Outrage! Outrage I say!" Walt shouted.

"What is happening here?" said Patty.

"That crook might have made the cake explode" said Charles Wallace.

"This may be the work of one of our arch enemies" said Dick.

"But which one. An explosion usually means the Riddler's cooking up a scheme" said Bruce.

"But those explosions always result in a riddle falling from the ceiling" said Sam.

"Yes... and speaking of criminals... Dick, Commissioner Gordon is connected to the police in Wiggletown. He should be calling us any second" said Bruce.

"You guys hurry. We'll stay here and investigate the scene" said Sam. 

"Roger, sarge" said Dick.
